TIM SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY.;:.IEVENING-s i MINE 4, 1864. - Sentence of Deposition on Bishop Colenso, This was a suit promoted by the plaintiff, Mr. Steven Hart, a farmer residing at Wistell, near Ashford, in Kent, to establish the will and codicil of Miss Elizabeth Chapman, an aged lady, who died at Penton Court, near Ashford, on the Bth of October, 1863. leaving property to the amount of between £BOO and £OO a year. The will was executed as far back as 03tober, 1842, and the codicil (which was the only instrument in dispute) was made in 1861. The defendant pleaded undue execution, undue influence, and want of testamentary incapacity: By the will the de ceased made several bequests to her servants and friends, but made no promise to her relatives, who were remote, and by the codicil she left Mr Hart, who was her bailiff and rented a farm from her, and other tenants, their farms, on the condition of their paying her sister, Miss Ca therine Chapman, who was a lunatic, and to whom she had been appointed guardian. £lO a year du-ing her life. It was stated by counsel that Mr Horne, one of the deczasers tenants, had been her bailiff; but although she remembered him in Ler will, she became dissatisfied with his manage ment of her affairs, which she entrusted to the plaintiff in 1835. He placed them in a proper position. The deceased was 73, and only ten days before her death transacted some business. The court pronounced in favour of the will. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Reg'strar Murray.) IN RE STIFF. This was a dividend meeting under the estate of this bankrupt, formerly proprietor of the Morning Chronicle newspaper. It appears from the report of Messrs Hart Brothers and Hayles, who had been appointed as accountants to the estate, that the petition was issued on the 20th March, 1862, and the debts and liabilities amounted to £38,330 14s. 7d , and the assets were stated at £23,770 4s. 6d., leaving a deficiency of £14,560, accounted for by 'the deficiency, paper, stock and cash accounts. A dividend of 7s. in the pound has already been paid, and, after deducting for proofs admitted this day, it is ex pected there will be a further dividend of 6d. in the pound. IN RE TOM SURRIDGE. This bankrupt was described as of Coventry. street, Hay market, licensed victualler, and this was a meeting for choice of assignees, who were after some discussion chosen. The accounts by Messrs. Hart Brothers and Hayles show dr. to cr. £7,406; assets, lease, &c., £5,000; stock, furni ture, &c., £483; deficiency, £1,588. (Before Mr Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE ALDRIDGE. This bankrupt, Mrs Martha Aldridge, had carried on business in the Borough market, and her total debts amount to £l4O, £lO9 of which is for law costa, It appeared that she had brought an action against a railway company for damage sustained by the non• delivery of goods, and in the first instance obtained a verdict; but which was, how ever, set aside on one of those technicalities under the Carriers' Law of shifting responsibility. The bankrupt obtained an immediate order of discharge, POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SUCCESSFUL MENDICANT. - Thomas Roberts, a miserable-looking old man, was charged before Mr Yardley with begging. Edmund Hutton, 34 C, proved seeing the prisoner begging of ladies and gentlemen in Soho-square. On searching the prisoner at the station he found 7s 6d in his possession. Burns, the gaoler, stated that a short time ago the prisoner was brought to the court on a similar charge, and then about I6s was found upon him. Mr Yardley said it was clear the prisoner was an in corrigible, and certainly a successful beggar. He should commit him for a month with hard labour. THAMES. STRIPPING CHILDREN OF THEIR CLOTHES.—ARTFUL TilinvEs —Matilda Taw the elder, aged 45, and Matilda Taw, her daughter, 14, both well dressed, were brought up on remand before Mr Paget charged with stripping chil dren of their clothes in the public streets. There were six charges against the prisoners, but owing to the tender ages of the little ones who had been rubbed, only one could be entered into, and in that case there was evidence independent of the children that had suffered. On Wednesday fortnight two children, a girl and a boy, named Aubrey, whose father carried on the business of a chemist and druggist in High-street, Poplar, were on their way home from school, and were stopped by the pri soners, who took from the boy his seal-skin cape, and from the girl her frock and boots. A milk boy named John Biggs saw the children seated on the banks of the river Lea Cut at Limehouse and crying. The boy, who is only 4l years old, was without his cape ; the girl who is 6 years old, was without her frock and boots. Biggs carried the little girl some distance, and her crinoline petti coat scratched his face and became so inconvenient that he got rid of her, and gave her to a lady and then took charge of the boy. The children were taken home to their parents. The boots and frock were produced. They were sold by the prisoners to a married woman named Mary Seager, the wife of a shipwright.dwelling in Poplar, bhe gave is 93 for the frock, and 2s for the boots, The younger prisoner represented to Mrs Seager that the things were left in her mother's house by a captain's lady who owed her money, and that she had no children who could wear them. When the elder prisoner was taken into custody by Ponsford, 260 K, she admitted hav ing sold the boots and frock to Mrs Seager. He locked her up, and went to 33, Morant-Street, Poplar, where he saw the younger prisoner, who said that a captain's lady gave the things to a Mrs Penton, and Mrs Penton gave them to her mother. The girl also said that Mrs Penton lived in a street at the top of the Commercial-road. Par ticular inquiries had been made for Mrs Penton, who was descr,bed as a tall lady of 30, but no such person was knowd at the Poplar Music Hall or any other hall. The elder prisoner also represented that her son was a dancer and clown at the Poplar Music Hall and other places. Ponsford took the boy with him to all the places mentioned by his mother. He was quite un known—he was neither a dancer nor a clown. Inspector Bruce, of the K division, said the woman was known as Mrs. Tyler, and her husband was a ph tp carpenter, The family were in tolerably easy circumstances Some of the robberies of children had produced much suffering. There were children in court who had been stripped of their clothing by the prisoners. Mr. Paget—The childrEn are too young to be sworn. Is there any other evidence to connect the prisoners with those robberies? Inspector Beare said unfortunately there was nol. He should mention that Mrs. Taw was known by the name of Tyler. Mrs. Seager—l know her by the name of Tyler. The younger prisoner was first called upon for her de fence. Sho said, with an air of simplicity, please, sir, I met a lady at the top of the Commercial-road, and she asked me it I wortld have a frock and boots for nay sister's chil dren? I said " yes," but I did not give them to my sister. I sold them to Mrs Seeger. The eider prisoner, in defence, said—l can't say more tb.:.n my daughter. They were sent to me, and my daugh ter said she would sell them to get some money. Mr Paget committed the prisoners for trial. Re thcllght this was a very important ease— one of the most serious cases he had ever heard. It was the worst kind of robbery to strip little children. The evil had gene on to a serious extent. lie would suggest that the Commissioners of Police ought to adopt measures for a prosecution of this case by the Solicitor to the Treasury. Mr Boare—l will communicate your remarks to Sir Richard Mayne, WESTMINSTER. THE PROGRESS or INTEMPERANCE. —Thomas Bayley, a labourer, was charged before Mr Selfe with being drunk and anaoying Police -constable 363 B, while in the execu tion of his duty. The constable stated that about 10 o'clock last night he was on duty in Arabelia•row, Pimlico, when the prisoner came up to him and said, "Do you call yourself a police man r I will fight you." Witness requested him to go away several times, and observed that ff he did not he should be compelled to take him to the station, and as he refused to go witness took him into custody. Mr Selfe—Was he drunk? Witness--lie was, your worship, and would insist on fighting me. Prisoner was fined 5s or seven days, A I'At tO DRUNKARDS. —Sarah Bailey and Mary Ann Matthews, respectable-looking young women, were next placed in front of the bar, charged with being drunk and incapable. B2t stAtvl ho was on duty about 10 o'clock the previous evening in Pimlico. The prisoners were making a gro.t noise, and he went up to them and found they were the worse for liquor. They were in front of a house, where they were causing a great disturbance. They were given into custody by the landlord of the house. Aa they had been similarly charged on a former occasion, they were severally fined ss, or in default seven days. A DRUNKEN TAILOR.—Henry Rogers, a spare, half f3 tatved looking man, was charged with detaining a coat which had been given to him to make. The prisoner admitted having had the coat, and said he lost it one day while he was diunk. He would pay the value of it. Another claimant made application for another coat, which the RriAAaer stated was left by him at a publi c h ouse which he frequented. The applicant could h ave i t b y going there. The prisoner then left the court. The Olympic Theatre has been transferred to a joint-stock company, the capital of which is stetted to be £12,500, in 2,500 shares of £5 each. Only 92 shares had been taken up to the 25th ultimo. The directors are the Hon. F. G. B. Ponsonby, G. A. F. C. B;ntinck, M.P. for Taunton, and Tom Taylor and Horace Wigan, Esqrs,— Sunday limo', The above race, which is composed of both French and English horses, takes place in Paris to morrow (Sunday). It is to be hoped that the unfortunate ill-feeling caused by Fille de l'Air's Two Thousand running will have completely passed away when the horses are stripped at the post. Only two or three English horses are under orders, among whom are the winner of the Derby and Glendodk. The latter is almost certain to run into a ph:ce. Blair Athol, if none the worse for the sea voyage, can scarcely lose. Fille de l'Air won the English and French Oaks so easily, that it is just possible she may defeat the Derby victor. Bois Roussel!, the winner of the French Derby, will have a very different class of horses to run against than were opposed to him on that occasion. My opinion is that the judge will have little difficulty in placing BLAIR ATIIOL .......................... 1 !ify anticipations for the Ascot meeting will appear in Die Sun of Monday.

It may be open to consideration how far it is justifiable to store tip such enornions trolumes of water in one spot, and whether a range of Smaller rer•ervoirs would not obviate danger. London has lately witnessed the de molition of a very high and very ugly embankment of this kind in the Hampsteathroad, the bursting o f w hi c h i n a densely-populated neighbourhood would have been far worse even than at Sheffie d; but there are several other reservoirs in and clOse to London—one in the Bentonville-road, and severpl on the high land near High gate and Hampstead. It is to be hoped they may all be subjected to the most rigid examination and test, if they cannot, as we think they ought to be, removed from the close proximity to a dense population. Thus out of evil good may come, and, on account of the sad accident at Sheffield, measures may ba taken to revert the like ills in future.

LONGWORTH (OR YELVERTON). The facts of the case aro as follows :—Mrs. Maria Theresa Longworth is the daughter of Thomas Longworth, Esq., of Smedley Park, Lancashire, deceased, described as a gen tleman of ancient family and of a large property. In 1852 she became acquainted with Major William Charles Yel verton, while travelling from France to England, A year afterwards a correspondence commenced between them. In the autumn of 1854 Major Yelverton went from Malta to the Crimea on military duty, at the outbreak of hostilities with Russia. After the commencement of the war Miss Longworth joined the French Sisters of Charity and went ,to Constantinople, and acted as nurse along with them at the Galata Hospital. Major Yelverton met her in Con stantinople in August, 1855, and according to her account courted her and promised to make her his wife. Miss Longworth said she accepted him for her husband, tut that he wished the marriage not to take place until after the termination of hostilities. Major Yelverton ad• mitted that he called upon her at the hospital, but said she had asked him to do so; that she had furnished him with her addross, adding that he had only seen her once before on board the steamer from Boulogne to London in 1855. In 1856, after hostilities had ceased, Miss Longworth visited Mrs Straubenzee, the wife of the general of that name, who then commanded the light divi sion of the British army. While there she frequently saw Major Yelverton, and she said that the engagement made at Constantinople was frequently the subject of their con versation. Major Yelverton represented to her that he was in great pecuniary embarrassment, and dependent on his uncle, who would give him no further assistance if he married. The engagement to marry her was, however, denied by the major. In 1857 Miss Longworth came toEng land, and went to reside at Edinburgh. There the major, who was stationed at Leith Fort, renewed the intimacy, and proposed that they should be married privately. The major said that the intimacy was brought about by Miss Longworth, who sent a note requesting him to call upon her. It appeared, according to Miss Longworth's account, that on April 12, 1857, at No. 1, St. Vincent-street, Edinburgh, they both declared and acknowledged each other to be man and wife. They further read throngh the Marriage Service of the Church of England together, and at the con clusion of it Major Yelverton said to her, " This makes you my wife according to the law of Scotland," The whole of these alleged facts were denied. The parties then separated, Major Yelverton going to Ireland and the lady to visit her sister in Wales. Subsequently she met him by agreement at Waterford, in Ireland, and some few days after they were married at Kilironey, in the parish of Rostrevor, by the Catholic priest, she alleging that such marriage was in tended to be a valid bona fide marriage, and Major Yelver ton stating that the lady was perfectly aware that it was not binding, but wanted it to take place as a salve to her conscience. They travelled about for some time after, until, in 1858, Major Yelverton married Mrs Forbes, when litiga•. tion at once commenced. The circumstances of the trial in Ireland, when the respondent was declared to be the lawful wife of the appellant, will be within the recollection of our readers; and the action commenced in the court of session resulted in those courts also deciding in her favour. Hence the present appeal. Mr Rolt, Q.C., late this afternoon, on the part of Major Yelverton, commenced his arguments in this case, the ob ject of which was to set aside the decision given in the mat ter by the Court of Session in Scotland in favour of the lady. The learned gentleman just commenced his address, when their lordships adjourned. The arguments, it is expected, will last a considerable time, there being no less than twenty counsel engaged in the case. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

FLOATING TELEGRAPH STATIONS.—Some years since Prince Albert, who was then an elder brother of the Trinity House, suggested that the light ships round our coast should be connected with the shore by means of electric cables. The question was considered, but no means had then keen discovered by which a ship swinging at her moorings Could be permanently connected with her csble,and the far-sighted proposal was not carried out. A company now forming proposes to do that which Prince Albert sug gested should be done, their object being in the first place profit, but incidentally carrying out the Prince's philan thropic ideas. The first ships to which this novel extension of the present network of telegraphs will be applied are to be stationed off Scilly and Cape Race; and at both stations it is allowed that not only will a large telegraphic business be transacted, but that many salvage services will be per formed beneficial to distressed ships' crews, and resulting in profit to the salYorsfor the services rendered. THE FATAL TRAMWAY ACCIDENT NEAR Low Moos.—Another boy, named Isaac Fordoff, resid ing at Wilsey, died during last night, making the number of deaths three. Yesterday the guard of the train, Her bert Barmby, was brought before the West Riding magi strates at Bradford, and remanded till after the inquest, whioh will be held this morning by Mr J. It. Ingram, deputy coroner, at the Robin Hood Inn, whither the body of Wilkinson was removed. The absence of some necessary witnesses alone prevented the magistrates from entering into the inquiry yesterday. William Clayton, engine tenter at Storr Hill Incline engine house, was called to prove that the prisoner omitted, at 6 o'clock on Wednesday morning, to attach the rope from the engine to the train, which de. parted down the incline to Wake-lane, and was overturned at the bottom with such a disastrous result,—.4fattchestet Examiner.

On Tuesday, the 24th, the public were admitted to see the remains of the Marshal, which lay in state in the Government Palace. The desire was so great to see the inanimate form of the Marshal for the last time that, to prevent accidents, it became necessary to place sentinels and police agents at the gates of the palace to regulate the approach. French, Spaniards, Arabs, Israelites, and strangers were all admitted in turn. The Arabs were not the least anxious to obtain admission. The silence in the interior of the Palace formed a striking con trast with the noise of the streets. Visitors passed through headandba w his ere right hand, hung with b lack to the cha p elle ar dente.

Outbreak at a Roman Catholic Reformatory. The Nottingham guardian reports another serious out break at the Mount St Bernard Reformatory, a Roman Catholic institution. On the 22d of May four criminals made their escape between the hours of 12 p.m. and 5 a.m. by cutting up the sheets and letting themselves down from the dormitory windows. They afterwards broke open the tailor's shop, equipping themselves each in a suit of clothes belonging to the band. They were afterwards captured "at Derby, and committed for trial. On the 24th a general mu tiny took place. The young criminals, to the number of 180, refused to work or obey the officers of the establishment, and defied them to touch or interfere with them. Some few of the youths who were disposed to obey were mercilessly punished by their more hardened companions. In the after noon about 50 went off in a body towards Bardon, armed with knives, sticks, and stones. Some bricklayers and labourers near Bardon attempted to capture t'aem ; but they immediately drew out their knives and threwstones as thick as hail, and one man was severely injured, The men, how ever, succeeded in capturing 7 of the boys, and took them back. In the meantime others had also gone out for a pleasure trip. In the evening about 70 returned, defying the offi cers to touch or punish them, and again had the place in their possession. They ordered and were supplied with what they required, and after much persuasion they went to bed. Next morning, happening to see a farmer, named Burgess (who had rendered some assistance on the pre uupmwighhitch havean attack their was pre vious day in their capture), pass, about thirty b oys fol lowed him into the Forest Rock Inn, and in s i s t e d on the re venge.landlord Thisturning the landlord hi m o refused, out rt that sed they upon immediately made upon his house, and about 255. worth of g lass, &c., was smashed. Some of the inmates took refuge in the cellars. The son of the landlord ran to Whitwick for assistance. Inspector Ward collected a few officers and pro ceeded to the spot, but found the boys had gone. A search was made, and two were captured, and shortly after six others. These were next day sentenced to 14 days' hard Ia• bour. On Thursday evening the, inspector was sent for to the reformatory and took five men with him. lie found the place in the greatest disorder. The authorities would give no orders for tho officer's interference, tearing they were not strong enough to cope with the rioters, and Mr. Quick, the manager, wished to send to Whitwick for more help. The inspector would not permit this, feeling confident that with the small force under his orders he could cope with them. The boys were persuaded again to go to bed, about nine o'clock, and about elevenadr. Quick, accom panied by the Inspector and his force, proceeded t the o out dormito r i es , and as the ringleaders wer e pointed secure d them, and locked up thirty-six. The next tothe morn ing ten of the worst were picked out and taken u Ashby lock - up. Twenty• two were then tied p to the triangle, ono after the other, and. severelyre flogged,to witness the whole of the boys being drawn up m •present all taken back an y further outbreak. After this theywere to the dormitories. On Saturday ten m ore were brou g ht various terms of im prisonment, varying from to Ashby, and the whole sentenced to 14 days to two months each. On others were severely birch e d, an d Saturday forty-one ordered to be kept on breadt a n d water for a week.

A CAPTTAL SUGGESTION ABOUT THE LOUSE OF LORDS.--W e beg to submit to the Times that it can, if it pleases, carry out an important constitutional reform. It has only to publish day by day at the bottom. of its summary the numbers present in the House of Lords, and the Peers will in three months be shamed cut of their present laxity of attendance. The conduct of these gentle men is most discreditable. There i s no position in the w or ld e p q o u sa a e l a t a o it, that no o t twenty fanE havenglish p ee r, yet of the 500 pers ons w h o the decency even to appear to exercise the privilege w hich the Const itution secures to them. D 3 they imag i n e that they are inv es t e d w i t h a s h are in the legislative power, covered with titles, an d wa ll e d in with privileges, f or their own adv an t age, or t h at o f the nation ? They ale just as much bound to attend in their places as the members of the ll,use of Commons, and their persistent refusal not only to do their duty but to pretend to do it, will, wheßever their privileges next come into question, be bitterly remembered. But for Lord Darby, Lord Ellenborough, the law lords, and the Ministry, the Peers' Chamber would be a tomb, —Spectator. 't.16.1 12.10 IGO all all all all 100 100 100 16.133 113} 131 1011 2
